Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Face palm ;).  Thanks, Oleg.

The crawler isn't blocked; we checked that first.  According to SEOmoz and Ahrefs, there's zero backlinks, but it does have some social shares.

A website was built and launched eight months ago, and their domain authority is 1.  When a site has been live for a while and has such a low DA, what's causing it?

Thanks for the insight!

Do you both know, on average, how much it matters, when it matters and how extensive should the ordering get?

We do a lot of local SEO, and we're wondering if it's better to target "keyword location" or "location keyword"?

Does it affect ranking and keyword difficulty if we're trying to rank for "plumbing appleton" or "appleton plumbing"?

Any insight would be great.

We have a client who wants to rank locally, nationally and internationally for their products.

I wrote a line that goes, "We can ship our products to you whether you’re here in Illinois, nationwide, or international."

I added that line after a paragraph or two of unique product description on each of their 30-odd product pages.  Will this damage their ranking?

I tried researching this but only found full page duplicate content topics.  Any advice would be great.

Thanks Miriam!  That was very helpful.

We're having trouble finding reliable traffic numbers for long-tail local keywords (ex. - "computer repair green bay").  We tried using Google Insights but it doesn't display long-tail keyword information, only broad keyword keywords searched for in a certain locale.

We also tried using Wordtracker, but that hasn't been too reliable either.

Is there a single tool that provides real traffic for local long-tail keywords?

Traditional Share of Voice (SOV) used to be calculated by how much your industry on the whole spent on marketing and how much you're spending on marketing.

But how do you calculate SOV for the web with different page rankings for multiple keywords, social mentions, and so on?

Anyone have any ideas?

The focus below is mainly on the domain name, what about the actual business name?  Think this would be equally (or more important) from an SEO standpoint as it would appear multiple times in the pages, title etc.

The queries have more of a educational intent to them.  The SERP is not spammy, we could do a better job I am sure though.

Just seems the numbers Google is providing seem way off.
